Something controversial or provocative about this subject It is amazing to some people that organic gardening and hydroponic growing can actually coexist in the same "method" or using the same principles and procedures.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope to learn the answers to all important questions relating to growing vegetables, so that I can be of greater service to others.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Vegetable gardening can be done, and healthy, tasty food produced from any location that gets adequate sunlight - even a concrete patio or roof-top. And you don't need dirt! Sawdust and sand, with proper natural mineral nutrients, can produce a great harvest of tasty vegetables and fruit.

What do you like about this subject? I believe everyone is better off by having a personal hand in providing for themselves, and that vegetable gardening also helps us feel closer to nature and to nature's God.
